The Colony City Council will consider passing a new voting district map that’s been in the works since January during its Tuesday meeting.

The proposed map comes out of the work of council members, staff and volunteers, according to City Secretary Christie Wilson. She said city rules stipulate the council to look at redistricting each time new census data is released. Population increased from 26,531 in 2000 to 36,328 in 2010.

The council is composed of four single-member districts, as well as two at-large spots and the mayoral position. The current Place 3 district now outweighs each other district by about 5,000 people, and Place 3’s boundaries shrink in the proposed map.

“From where we are now, there’s quite a bit of change,” Wilson said.

The council will meet Tuesday at 7 p.m. in city hall, 6800 Main St. in The Colony.
